If n-2y =
, find the value of n when y = -4 and m = 5.
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
At first we can try to find the difference between two consecutive terms which is
(x−y)–(x+y)=−2y
So after that we can understand the third and forth terms in terms of x and y.
They can be : (x−3y) and (x–5y)
Now try to do rest of the sum………………………………..
Second Hint
If you got stuck after the first hint you can use this :
Though we from our solution we find the other two terms to be (x−3y) and (x−5y)
but from the question we find that the other two terms are xy and xy
So both are equal.Thus ,
xy=x–3y
xy–x=–3y
x(y–1)=−3y
x=−3yy–1 ……………………………(1)
Again , similarly
xy=x−5y
Now considering the equation (1) we can take the value of xy
−3y–1=−3yy−1–5y …………………….(2)
−3=−3y–5y(y−1)
0=5y2–2y–3
0=(5y+3)(y−1)
y=–35,1
We are almost there with the answer. Try to find the answer…..
Final Step
Now from the last hint we find the value of y=–35,1
But we cannot consider the value of y to be 1 as the 1st and 2 nd terms would be x+1 and x−1) but last two terms will be equal to x .
So the value of y be −35 and substituting the value of y in either eqn (1) or eqn (2) we get x = -98
so , xy−2y=9.58.3+65
= 12340 (Answer )
Given: y= -4, m=5
Put the values of y and m
So n= -4
